What is The 1st International Electronic Conference on Forests—Forests for a Better Future: Sustainability, Innovation, Interdisciplinarity about?
Information on forest composition, specifically tree types and their distribution, aids in timber stock calculation and can help to better understand the biodiversity in a particular region. Automatic satellite imagery analysis can significantly accelerate the process of tree type classification, which is traditionally carried out by ground-based observation. Although computer vision methods have proven their efficiency in remote sensing tasks, specific challenges arise in forestry applications. In this paper, we aim to improve tree species classification based on a neural network approach. We consider four species commonly found in Russian boreal forests: birch, aspen, pine, and spruce. We use imagery from the Sentinel-2 satellite, which has multiple bands (in the visible and infrared spectra) and a spatial resolution of up to 10 meters. Additionally, the short revisit time and free access policy make Sentinel-2 imagery a valuable data source for the purpose of forest classification. In computer vision terms, we define the problem of tree type classification as one of semantic segmentation, assigning a particular tree type to each pixel of the image. The forest inventory data cont
